A minor bloggage in a major artery

I've been thinking about starting a blog, mainly for my friends, friends, and my church family to be informed and to interact together on life and ministry in the city. The city that is broken but being re-glued by grace. The city that is dirty, but being cleansed by the washing with water of the Word. Most of all, I hope that this blog will encourage those of us who are working for the transformation of this city into the New City, by remembering that we in a real sense ARE the City, we are the Bride, the New Jerusalem, the Holy City. We work to remove the broken bottles and filthy litter from these streets and lives of this grown-over garden knowing that we are not only working in hope and laboring in love for Eden to return in more glory than the original story, but that we are also the Lord's garden, the planting of His hand, for His splendor.

So I'll consider this a minor conversation within a small circle amid the swirling mass of information cluttering the airwaves of the bloggosphere. A minor bloggage in a major artery.
